Marcin Gortat scored 16 points and John Wall tallied 14 points and 10 assists for the Wizards, who snapped a four-game skid against Utah.

Burks' 3-pointer with 4:58 brought the Jazz within 93-85, but Ariza answered with a 3 of his own and the margin didn't dip into single digits the rest of the way.
